Yup, hope they continue using this marketing team. Very well done.

This lead up commerical to the Corolla GR reveal tonight is pretty cool too. Making fun of all the people who unsuccessfully piece together spy shots of a car. Lol.

Really impressed they can squeeze 300hp from a boosted 1.6, sweet video.

It's good to see one of our closed malls getting some use.

That was good. It reminds me of the Blues Brothers chase scene that was filmed at the deserted Dixie Square Mall.

This is the 2nd Gen.
Car was heavily reworked with all new engine, interior, styling etc.

Reviews have said its significantly better than the 1st gen in every way.

Ah okay, that new corolla looks quite interesting too. They should put that engine in the 86, that would make it something really cool IMO
